Masterly spin. Quite masterly.
Whilst the odd flap tweak or a vortex generator here or there might be considered such an 'improvement', total design of the 7-late-7's centre wing box structure is in an entirely different league.
Still, I suppose it diverts attention from 777 fuel systems and the loss of the KC-X contract.....
